Residence la Vigna — Hotel in Comunità Alto Garda e Ledro

The apartment was spacious, with a small balcony and, surprisingly, had a dishwasher. The small block of apartments is surrounded by vineyards and orchards, and is only a short drive from the small town of Arco, which is lovely and has a castle in a stunning location overlooking the town. You have to check in at a hotel about 3km away and I was surprised to have to pay the deposit in cash - they would not accept a card. The shared pool is nice but there was some road noise from the nearby road. There was a lack of information in the room about how to operate the cooker, where the bins were etc. and the wine glasses provided were tiddly! How can a place surrounded by vines be provided with wine glasses that only hold about 90ml? Needless to say we drank wine out of tumblers. While we were there there was a problem with the lounge lighting which they could not fix during our stay and there was no apology or offer of recompense - customer service could do with some improvement. But the place was clean, reasonably well equipped and the beds were comfortable. Would recommend this area but avoid August if you can - the road around Lake Garda was like a car park in...

The first thing that happened after we opened the room, was that the light switch fell off the wall. I think this characterizes the place very well. Pretty much everything inside the apartments is old and broken. This would be ok (as many other places in the areas are as well built 30 years ago), but the steep price we paid per night (210 EUR), totally didn't justify the room quality. There is no water cooker, no hair drier and the beds are so 'laid' that even the kids had back-ache after the two night we stayed there. Please also notice that there is no reception on site. You need to travel to another hotel 2km away to get your keys.

As for the good points: The pool was (although small) very nice for the kids. There is also a small Whirlpool. The location is off the lake behind the big rock. Still you are in the middle of wine-fields with very good connection to Torbole and Rive (both under 10min by car). EUROspar supermarket is great, and...

Tramite Booking decidiamo di prenotare|per amici per un we in compagnia sul Garda ma la disponibilita’ per il fine settimana non e’ molta dato che si tratta di una famiglia di 4 persone ( con nenonata al seguito) e cosi trovo questo residence di cui leggo buone recensioni e, vista anche la scarsa scelta ,decido di prenotare velocemente per non perdere il posto.|Solo rileggendo attentamente leggo poi alcuni particolari che mi lasciano un po’ perplesso come ad esempio il check out alle 9 del mattino e in piu’ con consegna delle chiavi nel loro hotel a 3 km di distanza , tra l’altro non facile da trovare per chi non e’ del posto ( anche i navigatori tendono a portarti fuori strada!).||L’appartamento e’ abbastanza grande e pulito, tutto e’ molto curato ma un po’ freddo e asettico. Le due camere che pensavo fossero da letto oltre la cucina in verita’ erano una camera grande e un divano letto matrimoniale nella cucina soggiorno.||Non molto comodo l’accesso con codice al cancello esterno del residence, soprattutto in caso di pioggia , inoltre i tasti erano piccoli e illeggibili per cui si va un po’ ad intuito.||Carina la piscinetta in giardino per godere della pace della tranquillita’ della zona dato che siamo alle pendici del Monte Brione, biotopo protetto ma con check in alle 16 e check out alle 9,00 il tempo per goderselo e’ molto limitato a meno che non si soggiorni per piu’ giorni!||Nemmeno un dolcetto di benvenuto o una bottiglietta di acqua nel frigo, nessun aiuto per la gestione delle esigenze in loco e non una parola o cenno di interessamento ad esigenze dovute all’arrivo di una neonata , prontamente dichiarata in fase di prenotazione insomma ci si sente un po’ abbandonati a se stessi .||Se siete amanti della pace e della solitudine in totale autonomia questo e’ il posto...
